It’s been a long day,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EKI9nzZxI
and I’ve got little to say.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWd3adNeUK
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyr9qhh7xM
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rp0IiUUbk
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV05hO5XZO
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ptiYw1ssh
1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1zYff35Zz
No words dared to part from our lips1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoS3eBgbJp
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgMOiE2lQj
We listened to Music together silently,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvfxCQkL5
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxyC1aL6X
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWaeNaEzjD
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ih0UGwlN
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44RRK6C15W
I hear the chirping of the birds,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGJCncJ20A
I hear their every songlike word.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46O0oHmHBh
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsc3EHtcAM
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7RHjCSkmN
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NFHT83dc0
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkm1Ck189X
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSYyu8gg9
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTwQpJmd9H
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq7AUI3Uas
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZZmJfMJ6
I like to take things nice and slow,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogh0bZowu
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArkbxga0dZ
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJFFDip9v
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c83SGmLdj
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDgALSNfmC
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rfx3ZhVYX
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KF5Y9AHBt
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYXPLlT6wC
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCfWGitVKI
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRB2z1GrmP
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXBLLP11BU
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTGeTnvqc2
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lQBi36xiY
while he may leave me behind as nothing more than a name.
In the end, the Music from my MP3, as it must, comes to a halt.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTT1q3owRU
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV7cqXOJH3
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLCOyph5JA
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVlhXzRSz
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzOjQ0ecXA
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvjUiUv5BZ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xnW6Qsq1G
